Async development agent, you grant it access to GitHub repositories, it clones them in a VM and runs tasks (including scripts etc).

Not bad for small tasks, stubbing/poc attempts or while on the go (slow to type code on mobile).

I'm not one to admit when I'm being stubborn

But working on the Alpine Devtools in the evenings means I finally felt the "why no dark mode" pain

This vindicates the time I spent wiring Tailwind (v4) properly the other day (devtools v1 is on Tailwind 1)

Trying something new (or maybe reviving an old project)

I was part of the original crew that worked on Alpine devtools.

Chrome has obsoleted the extension (granted, it has had no updates since Sept 24) with Manifest v3
